It’s the end of third term here.
Two weeks off from kinder and ballet and a couple of other things that we attempt to squeeze into our life. Two weeks to sleep in and take it easy. Two weeks to go on adventures and paint and draw and stay in our pyjamas all day!
We do have a few things planned. The girls are doing swimming lessons every day next week, which is an adventure since they’ve not had lessons before and are VERY excited. We also have plans for some arty stuff and some sewing. If the weather is good for us we have plans for seeds and planting and, fingers crossed, a chick or two hatching, not to mention building a house for the ducklings!
I’m sure we won’t actually get half of that list done… because I am voting for doing nothing a lot of the time!!
Today, we took a family car trip to the Kids Town Park at Shepparton. With the portable DVD player the kids really enjoy a good car trip and the Baldy Boy and I love to drive and chat and look out the window and play ‘what if we moved out here!’, so we often take off for a day out. The park wasn’t quite as fabulous as the web site said it was, but the kids had a great time and it was just nice to spend a whole day together as a family.
If you happen to be on holidays too.. what have you got planned?

We love kids town as well
I told the girls that we would have a break from home learning stuff because it is school holidays – now that we have a big school boy (TJ) staying with us I thought it would be nice to make holidays ‘special’. Er.. The girls burst into tears and Miss V refused to put her number book away. LOL
Business as usual here, although we get to enjoy TJ’s company during the day for the next 2 weeks, too.
Speaking of parks – have you been to fairy park? We went last year and although it wasn’t as awesome as I remembered, the girls loved it.
we are going to the show tomorrow. as an american, i have never been before! i have my pocket money and my eye on a few show bags! i think i am going to have more fun than the kids!
Bronwen has just started school for the first time here in the great (soon to be white – *SOB*) north… she appears to be loving it… me not so much! I envy you and the school holidays.
Beren just looked at that pic and screamed awesome! haha
